Biloxi Bound!

Hello All! :)

Tomorrow I am heading out on a five day road trip to Biloxi, MS. My team (Green Seven- or "Sweven" as we call it) is going to Biloxi to work with Habitat for Humanity. We will be staying at Yankie Statium (volunteer housing) and we will be serving there until January 24.

I am VERY excited about the project. I think it will be a really great experience. I am really looking forward to working with Habitat for Humanity. I am also looking forward to seeing the Gulf. I have never been to Mississippi and am excited to get to spend some time there.

While in Biloxi we are also hoping to be able to take a side trip to New Orleans.

My team and I will be taking our lovely 15 passenger van for the ride. I think the ride will be LONG but potentially even fun. We will be making a few stops along the way and who knows what we will see. We are definately stopping in Austin, TX one day, and I'm pretty pumped about that because I've never been to Austin.

Speaking of side trips, just yesterday, a few friends and I rented a car and drove to San Francisco. It was soooo much fun. Even though it rained ALL day, we were able to go to a farmers market (and buy fresh strawberries), check out Chinatown (I was able to find a few of my Hong Kong favorites!), see the lovely Golden Gate Bridge, go shopping (and buy new, DRY shoes), and finally walk around and eat down by Fisherman's Wharf. It was an awesome little day trip.

Today I have spent the day cleaning, packing, and preparing for our trek.

I will probably be able to jump online and post again shortly after I get there... until then- Have a fabulous week!!
